is an ancient breed of Austria for as much as 2000 years.
It is also known as the Noriker, Norisches Kaltbult,
or Pinzgauer. They are a very strong, hardy breed and
known for their docile personalities and willingness
to work, making them very popular for heavy work. They
are becoming popular as a riding mount and are being
used more and more as sport horses. They have a good
gait, a good sense of balance, a sure step, and are
able climbers. They are not very fertile, so their numbers
do not increase quickly. Norics are very large, muscular,
and powerful animals. They have a straight profile with
wide nostrils and medium sized eyes. Its neck is medium
length and it has a thick mane. Its chest is broad and
deep. Most Norics are bay, brown or chestnut with a
